Chapter 1513: Chapter 894: Restraint, the Starry Sky Trembles (Part 2)
The Sword Qi was different from that of ordinary Sword Cultivators.
It was not just a single Sword Qi; it also contained all his comprehension of the Sword Dao.
It was a will to cut through everything, an Unbreakable intent.
With a light swing of his arm, the next moment, a Heaven-shaking Sword Qi was already slashed out by Lu Qing.
The Sword Qi moved at a terrifying speed, almost surpassing the limits of space.
It seemed to disregard distance, reaching the target the instant it was slashed.
The Deputy Temple Master felt a twitch in his heart, instinctively sensing a trace of danger.
The fierceness, the purity of that Sword Qi made even a Peak of Unity Great Success powerhouse like him feel a jolt.
But he quickly calmed himself again.
Because when that Sword Qi, capable of cutting through heaven and earth, struck the black barrier in front of him, it only stirred up a ripple.
Although the barrier trembled slightly, it remained steadfast, completely blocking that Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi dissipated, turning into dots of white light, swallowed by that black barrier.
Seeing this, the Deputy Temple Master couldn’t help but sneer aloud.
"Boy, it’s useless. Your Power of Laws is naturally restrained by my power. With your current strength, you can’t possibly break my Heavenly Demon Barrier."
His voice was full of ridicule, with a bit of pride.
Lu Qing ignored his taunts and frowned as he gazed at the black barrier.
He refused to accept defeat.
The next moment, he flipped his palm, and a crimson flame surged forth from his palm.
It was a flame condensed from the Fire Dao, its temperature high enough to scorch the heavens and boil the seas.
The flame transformed into a fire dragon, with fangs and claws, pouncing towards the Deputy Temple Master.
However, when the flame collided with the black barrier, it only stirred a ripple before being completely dissolved.
Lu Qing then switched to the Water Dao, an icy blue stream flowing from his hand, freezing the space it passed.
But when the icy stream hit the barrier, it was similarly dissolved.
He then switched to the Gold Dao, a golden edge, extremely sharp, as if able to cut through everything.
But when that edge struck the barrier, it returned ineffective.
The Wood Dao, full of vitality, could not penetrate either.
The Earth Dao, heavy as a mountain, was also blocked.
The Power Dao, vast and mighty, only stirred larger ripples on the barrier before dissipating invisibly.
The Illusion Path, ethereal and mystical, attempted to bypass the barrier but was directly engulfed by the black mana.
Lu Qing had used almost all the nine types of Power of the Great Path he mastered.
But the result was the same; that black barrier was indeed Unbreakable, his attacks unable to penetrate.
The strange barrier seemed capable of dissolving and reflecting the Power of the Great Path.
The Great Path power he urged was mysteriously resolved just as it approached the black mana.
The Laws scattered, the Power of the Great Path was devoured, as if it never existed.
As if the opponent’s power was naturally capable of restraining the power of the Great Path.
Lu Qing stopped his attack, his brows tightly furrowed.
At this moment, he finally understood why the sages of ancient times dreaded the evil creatures from the Otherworld so much.
If those evil creatures all possessed such power, it would indeed be an unprecedented threat to this starry sky.
The cultivator’s essence lies in comprehending the Great Dao and wielding its power.
If the power of the Great Dao is restrained, the cultivator’s strength would be greatly reduced, unable to unleash even thirty percent of their full power.
No wonder those ancient sages preferred to take the initiative and go to war in the Otherworld rather than allow the battlefield to occur in this starry sky.
Because here, those strange evil creatures are the greatest disaster for ordinary cultivators.
But Lu Qing still refused to accept defeat.
Since the ancient sages could annihilate the invading evil creatures, it meant that the power of this world could still harm the opponent.
It’s just that he hadn’t found the right method yet.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing had a thought.
He considered a question.
Given that this barrier was so formidable, blocking all his attacks, why hadn’t this guy attacked him given this opportunity?
From the start of the attack until now, the Deputy Temple Master had always stood within the barrier, only defending, never taking the initiative to strike.
Could it be that after deploying this strange barrier, the opponent couldn’t attack?
Lu Qing’s thoughts turned over, his gaze swept over the Deputy Temple Master.
He noticed that although the Deputy Temple Master stood behind the barrier, appearing calm and composed, he hadn’t made any other move, a contrast to his previous imposing demeanor.
Lu Qing became more and more convinced.
He spoke, his tone calm yet probing.
"Your turtle shell is quite hard, but I’m very curious, why aren’t you attacking? Could it be that after deploying this barrier, you can’t attack?"
The Deputy Temple Master’s eyes flickered with an almost imperceptible change.
He hadn’t expected the boy’s mind to be so keen.
Within just a few attacks, he had already discerned the Heavenly Demon Barrier’s flaw.
Indeed, while the Heavenly Demon Barrier was formidable, one of the strongest defense methods of their clan, it had its flaws.
Once used, he would be trapped within the barrier, unable to attack externally.
The barrier, like a cage, protected him while also confining him within.
Unless he voluntarily withdrew the barrier, he couldn’t cause any harm to the outside world.
This flaw was dictated by the essence of their clan’s power.
The Heavenly Demon Barrier was manifested from their Origin Space.
After deploying the Heavenly Demon Barrier, all their power was used to maintain the barrier, leaving no excess strength to attack.
But of course, the Deputy Temple Master wouldn’t admit it.
He let out a cold laugh, his voice full of mockery.
"Boy, you think I’ll tell you? If you have the ability, try it yourself. I’ll see how you plan to deal with me."
His tone was relaxed, as if he didn’t take Lu Qing seriously at all.
But the change in his eyes had long been captured by Lu Qing.
He already had the answer in his heart.
"So, it’s just a turtle shell that can only take hits but can’t retaliate."
Lu Qing scoffed coldly, a glint of icy intention in his eyes.
"Let’s see how I beat a drowning dog and break your shell!"
The Deputy Temple Master’s heart tightened, yet he remained verbally defiant: "With just you?"
Lu Qing said nothing more.
He took a deep breath, slowly raising his right hand.
Nine types of Power of the Great Path began to brew in his palm.
Space, Five Elements, Sword, Power, Illusion...
Nine distinctly different forces converged in his palm.
They intertwined and complemented each other, without the slightest discord, instead forming an indescribable harmony.
The power grew ever stronger, ever more intense.
Lu Qing’s palm began to glow.
The light was not blinding, yet it gave an impression of vastness, as if it was not a hand but a burgeoning universe.
The nine types of Power of the Great Path perfectly fused in his hand.
That aura, so powerful and so intense, made the Deputy Temple Master’s face change dramatically.
He could feel that the power contained in that palm far exceeded any previous attack.
It was a qualitative leap, not one plus one equals two, but one plus one far greater than two.
The power kept rising.
It rose to a level that even made the Deputy Temple Master feel palpitations before it finally stopped.
The Deputy Temple Master’s pupils contracted fiercely.
He wanted to retreat but found his body locked by the Spatial Power, unable to move.
He wanted to do something, but found he couldn’t do anything at all.
Trapped inside the barrier, he could only watch helplessly as Lu Qing accumulated power.
At this moment, a strong sense of unease surged in his heart.
That unease, like a tide, engulfed him.
And in the distant starry sky, those Unity Realm Stage powerhouses sensing this aura also changed hue.
In the Sky-breaking Sword Sect, a white-haired elder, who had been in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes, gazing into the depths of the starry sky.
"This aura... who is it?"
At Kongming Sect, an old nun was startled out of meditation, cracking a Buddha bead in her hand.
"Nine types of Great Dao power? This... how is this possible?"
In Netherworld Palace, Qiu Ruofeng was discussing matters with several elders.
Suddenly, he shuddered, stood up abruptly, and looked out the window.
"It’s Lu Qing’s aura! Who is he confronting?"
The intensity and strength of the aura frightened these old monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
They didn’t know what was happening, but inexplicable unease filled their hearts.
And now, the power in Lu Qing’s hand had reached its peak.
He looked at the Deputy Temple Master, a cold intention flashing in his eyes.
"Demon Child, let’s see if you can take my move!"
